Question

Elevation of land is measured from the level of the sea, which is taken as zero. cansomeone pls explain this line ?

Answer 1

Answer: If you climbed a mountain they would say you were, lets say, 1,000 feet above sea level. If you were at sea level they would say that you didn't have any elevation. If you were below sea level maybe 1,000 feet they would say you were 1,000 feet below sea level. So, sea level is just the starting point for elevation.

Answer 2

Answer:

Elevation is distance above sea level.

Elevations are usually meaaured in meters or feet.They can be shown on maps by contour lines,which connect point with the same elevation, by bands and color,or by numbers giving the exact elevations of particular points on the surface.Maps that show elevations are called Topographic maps.

Elevation infulences climate,as well as where amd how people live.Most of the worlds people live in coastal plains at elevation of 150 meters (500 feet) or less.Some cultures have adapted to higher elevation.In Tibet,a region in central Asia people live at elevations as great as 5,334 meters (17,500 feet),Above this elevation the climate becomes too cold for growing crops,and their is also not enough oxygen, in the air to sustain human life...
